Second time back here to check out the new blend in the grinder via Cup Specialty Coffee .. was blown away which is to be expected coming from Cup. The blend is amazing .. tons of depth and body. Only had time to have a take away today but I will certainly be back again. The place was absolutely packed as well which was good to see! This place has an awesome atmosphere and now awesome coffee to match it.

My first time back here since these guys opened a year and a half ago. Blown away by the quality of the coffee being served here. These guys have really come into their own. Had an few on the El Salvador that was really buttery and smooth in texture. Then had a few on their houseblend which was quite unique. I will be stopping here more often for sure now.

I asked around on twitter where the best cafes were in London and this was one of the ones suggested to me. A sweet set up in the front of a clothing store I found kind of strange at first but I was quickly distracted by the quality of the coffee. The barista's were friendly and eager to tell me about other good cafes in the area which I find very cool.
I had a piccolo and a flat white .. both amazing perfectly textured coffees. If your in London this is a must stop for any serious coffee drinker.

I've had the pleasure of drinking many of Mecca Espresso's single origins so I already had high expectations when I heard Pourboy Espresso was going to be the first espresso bar in Brisbane to be using Mecca Espresso beans and I was not let down.
Pourboy serves up a mecca house blend consisting of Ethiopian boldgrain 34% Ethiopian Sidamo OCR 33% and Costa Rica Don Jose washed 33% which is known as the dark horse blend. In the second grinder they serve up various single origins via mecca. At the time of this review they were pouring a very smooth guatamalen which I had in a picollo and was ...

In the past year I have seen a few suburban cafes pop up but I have to say "The Corner Store Cafe" has just raised the bar a little higher in the suburban cafe race. They use locally roasted beans via Cleanskin Coffee Co. and are currently serving blend #7 as their house blend. I had a variety of coffee's in the 3 hours I spent there and all of them we're great. They have a great food menu that is one of the most affordable I have seen in a while so the value for money is great.
One of the interesting elements of this cafe is that it really is partially a corner store. You can go in and bu...

The Gold Coast finally has a specialty coffee shop to call its own! I drove 90+ kilometers to check these guys out and it was worth the drive. I may be corrected on this but the Gold Coast isn’t well known for its specialty coffee shops so when word started spreading about Blackboard a few months back I was very keen to check them out. Blackboard uses locally roasted beans from what I consider to be one of Brisbane’s most respected boutique coffee roasters “Cup Specialty Coffee” making the quality of the coffee at Blackboard exceptional. Like any self respecting specialty coffee house ...

In my experience suburban cafes can be very hit and miss when it comes to the coffee they serve. Some of them are serious about coffee and some are just serious about profits.
Bowerbird however is clearly serious about coffee as they use locally roasted beans from "Saint Coffee" I had several coffees there this afternoon and each one was excellent.The vibe is very cool and this cafe is a lot bigger then it looks from the outside.
The staff are friendly and efficient with prompt service. I will most certainly be making this one of my regular spots. Definitely worth checking out.
